★★★★★ 5.0 Santana Cam · Feb 2026

It’s SOOOO good!! We were heading home and saw the sign, had no idea they were opening this restaurant so even though we already ate we had to turn around and try something! My Asian wife is stoked to have pho nearby 🤣 we got the fried potstickers, cheese Rangoon, k-dog, and taro drink(not pictured cause we drank it too fast) everything was 10/10 including service!! Can’t wait to go back!!

Friendly, quick service. Great food. Phó is possibly my favorite food on earth and this absolutely hit spot. My daughter was too full to finish hers, so I happily ate the rest of hers too. Absolutely will be back. Forgot to take photos before... but, the empty bowl speaks for itself

Where do I even begin with this new addition to Norwalk! The pho is amazing and the broth is delicious and flavorful. The cheese ragoons are so light and flakey and just so good. (My favorite thing on the menu) They also have a large selection of different boba drinks and lemonades. The atmosphere is so cute and welcoming and I look forward to eating here again!

I was so excited to hear that Pho/Asian style food was coming to Norwalk since my fiancé works there. We arrived around 4pm that’s when it re opens for the evening. First off the sign was not even on for the open sign so we were confused as to why it was off, leaving us to wonder if they were open or closed. When we got to the counter the menu wasn’t even on so we basically just stood there looking lost. We got a mango drink that was extremely sour I would compare it to drinking a Warhead that’s been liquified. We ordered pho and a shrimp rice bowl having high expectations for broth these dishes. As for the wait time it was very slow for them only have two customers there. First off, the pho was horrible the broth was bland with no flavor at all except for salty. This place specializing in

I love this new addition to Norwalk; it’s so refreshing to have more options when you’re going out locally. When I came to try the restaurant for the first time this afternoon my expectations were not let down. Not only is the staff great but the food fulfills the ultimate cravings. There were these two adoring high school girls who made me feel welcome immediately. Positive energy like that is rare but at phonetics it’s all I encountered. I love this place and wouldn’t be surprised to find it as my new favorite spot.
